A team needs compute, storage, and networking resources that are owned and managed by a third-party provider, accessed over the internet, billed on a pay-as-you-go basis, and shared with other customers. Which cloud deployment model best meets these requirements?
The public cloud model is operated by an external provider and delivers IT resources to many customers on a shared, multi-tenant infrastructure. This arrangement allows organizations to scale quickly, pay only for what they use, and avoid maintaining their own hardware. Private clouds are single-tenant environments dedicated to one organization, hybrid clouds combine private and public resources, and community clouds are shared only by organizations with common interests-none of which satisfy the requirement for broadly shared, third-party-hosted infrastructure.
